    Congratulations ETO! :j

    NSD 7, 3 in a row.
    I'm aiming for 5 in a row this week. I don't count paying the rent or travel to work as they're essentials. I did save a couple of quid this week by getting a weekly ticket for just the trams instead of the trams and buses. I normally get a bus for part of my journey but the walk will do me good and discourage me from picking up shopping after work!

    NSD # 3 for me yesterday, I seem so behind compared to others but keep telling myself 'it's a marathon not a sprint' :)

    Argh! I wanted to try for 11 today, BUT I can't. I have to have my hair pretty much cut in half later (Seriously, and it'll still be insanely long) which no doubt will cost a small fortune. So thats annoying.
